New Meters Installed as Parking Fee Doubled in Athens
The city of Athens installed 357 new meters with gold heads charging two nickels per hour in the Court Street business district while green headed meters elsewhere keep the nickel rate. Safety Director Arthur Coon said the project followed council authorization and that a consultant had recommended higher rates to curb all day parking. The plan also proposed 80 extra all day meters near the business district, but the related ordinance was vetoed by Mayor Kenneth W. Sands last June and the authorization was dropped in August.
